Why do you have to order staff to watch Hegseth? Because they won’t voluntarily watch Hegseth. Another Pete face-plant.

Anytime I see someone struggling to do a pull up, I’m going to call it a “lethal kinetic strike.”

Um, congressman Emmer, the Trump approval chart you’re reading is upside down.

MAGA is really fixated on the No Kings rally. They should probably get off TV and get back to work!

House majority continues to whine about MAGA’s failures.

profpolisci.bsky.social @profpolisci.bsky.social · 17h

MAGA can’t govern and they are increasingly desperate to blame someone, anyone else.

North Carolina Republicans fear accountability and are in open assault against NC voters.

Hegseth’s failed flex was as impressive as his pull ups.

Hey, MAGA, time to come get your guy and take him home. He’s toast.

profpolisci.bsky.social @profpolisci.bsky.social · 2d

He’s as good at that as he is at running the economy, battling COVID, telling the truth, governing at all.

Lying direct to camera seems to be JD Vance’s one discernible skill.

He’s a good candidate but had considerably more time in the Senate than Vance and even a legislative accomplishment or two! Vance is the modern champ if the competition is lack of qualification.

I didn’t imagine that Vance could get less likable than what he showed in the campaign, but here we are. He must be taking his DeSantis pills double-dose.

profpolisci.bsky.social @profpolisci.bsky.social · 2d

Vance feeling real big: “you’re talking to the the Vice President of the United States,” he says. He’s talking, of course, to the least qualified and least accomplished Vice President in modern American history.

Brittle JD Vance can’t take tough questions. Trying to cover for MAGA corruption and the MAGA shutdown.
